We may ask for certain personal information from you for the purpose of providing to you content and/or services that you request. Personal information is defined as any information that identifies or can be used to identify the person to whom such information pertains. For example, we request your name and e-mail address each time you contact us by clicking on the "Contact Us" link. We may retain a record of users who have contacted us in order to respond properly to questions or concerns and for purposes of future communications. Prometric collects personal information from test takers for the purpose of registering and scheduling for tests or assessments and in order to administer tests/assessments and process results.

HOW DO WE USE THE INFORMATION WE COLLECT?

We use your personally identifiable information to provide you with testing and related services and the information or content that you have requested, and, in some cases, to contact you about our programs, products, features or services. If you are a test taker, Prometric will provide your information to the organization that owns the test you are taking (the "Test Sponsor"). Test Sponsor is that organization, who is a client of Prometric, and for who we are administering tests to you as the test taker. Prometric will send your personal information and test results to that Test Sponsor so that the Test Sponsor may provide you with the accreditation, service, license or credential you seek.

We use non-identifying information collected on our Web Site in the aggregate to better understand your use of the Web Site and to enhance your enjoyment and experience. For example, we may use the information to improve the design and content of our Web Site or to analyze the programs and services that we offer.

ONWARD TRANSFER

We may employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Our employees, agents and contractors who have access to personally identifiable information are required to protect the information in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Statement and seek assurances from such third parties that they will provide the same level of privacy protection as this Privacy Statement requires.
